I'm not really sure that I do anymore.  Back when I first started
making
these maps, it was literally impossible to make a polyline with more
than 500 vertices that didn't crash most browsers.  At that time,
encoding allowed you to make polylines with tens of thousands of
vertices.  It seems, though, that things have improved greatly for
normal polylines, though.  I'm thinking that maybe you can do a few
thousand points without worrying about encoding and still have
reasonable performance these days.
